Julien Gauthier
Jake Virtanen
They’re very similar players, prototypical power forwards with excellent skating ability, both are in their coaches doghouse and seem to be going nowhere with their organization. Both have 1pt this season. Jake has had more production at the NHL level but seems to be regressing, Julien has had very consistent production at the AHL level. Julien is younger.
Jake carries a higher draft pedigree but also brings some character/off-ice issues. Julien is sort of the opposite in that regard as he has obsessed with training and is one of the most jacked guys in the league. I think Jake would improve a lot if he was forced to move away from all his childhood friends and go to a different environment where he has to grow up.
